rector of st. Johns Episcopal church,
conducted the services. The chapel
was crowded to overhowing, and the
passages, porches, and grounds were
well filed with interested listeners.
The music Of the male orphan choir
was prominent feature, the address of
Rev. Mr.. Burton an admirable one,
and the entire service pleasant, profita-
BILE, and instructive.
A Sabbath school is held at Memorial

evening at 4 o'clock. Mr.. Thomas

tirely non-sectarian. There are over
forty scholars, and all children in the

Convention or Primary Eieetfsxf
Neither.

To The Editor of the Dispatch:
We are at an important crisis in the
affairs and government OF our beauti.
full city. The character and personS'ct
OF our legislative ticket in tho ap-
preaching election viii decide for our
veal or woe. Can we not now, - IN
1869, sink all personal ambitions and
petty schemes, and let our City Com
mittee select good ticket for US with
out having either convention or pri-
mary election? Our city and party are
again in imminent danger, as they were
in 1869, and this is no time for making
states to forward the interests of any
man or of any ring.
Our people are heartily sick OF the
primary plan, and il it IL tried again
this fall we will find, to our sorrow,
that it has been tried once too often.
The convention is far preferable. II we
must have one or the other OF these
two plans but this, too, is liable to
many abuses. II the practice OF voting
for all four delegates on one ballot 10
abandoned and each candidate Is Sc
lected separately and seriatina, some.
thing like representative ticket might
be obtained by the convention plan.
But neither of these plans is the proper
one for this crisis. This city was
saved in 1869 by the City Commit
tees taking the matter into their own
hands, and without regarding the per-
sopal ambitions Of individuals, having
the success OF the party and the good
of the city and people alsne in view.
they framed the ticket for the Senate
and House which snatched victory from
the very jaws of defeat. Let us try
this plan again-now when it is adj
mitted that our city is doubtful-just
this once. WAsDERER.

The Ntne.Hour Rule Adopted-Othsr
Important Matters.

A meeting OF Richmond Typographi-
cal Union, No. 80, was held in Odd
Fellows Hall Sunday afternoon. Presi-
dent Booth called the body TO order at
"a o'clock, and it remained in session
for about three and a half hours. The
attendance was quite large, there being
.ifty or more members present.
The committee appointed to con-
slider the question Of making nine
hours constitute days work presented
a majority and a minority report, the
former OF which was adopted by O
large majority. This provides that in
conformity with the law adopted by the
International Union nine hours shall
constitute days work instead OF ten,
as at present but Richmond Union
has decided that printers shall receive
not less than Sl5 per week, whereas
they now are paid S16, which leaves
weekly wages about tlfe same as now.
This goes into effect the lst OF Novem-
Der.
The Committee on Revision of By
laws submitted lengthy report recon-
mending about twenty changes in the
present rules governing the body and
its members. The report was read and
this consumed nearly an hour, and
without any action being taken on it.

The written report of Messrs. Daven-
port &; Co., financial agents of the city,
was laid before the Committee on Fl
nance last night, and it was decided to
call meeting of the chairmen of all
the Council committeesto to inform them
of the city's condition. The report
shows that the market for the sale of
bonds is very limited just now, and
gives reasons TO show why the sale OF
bonds is almost impossible at present.
One reason assigned is the action of the
Roanoke convention in regard to the
State debt another is the unsettled
condition of the money market all over
the world. The placing of bonds with
superior attractions in New York by
railroad companies below par is also
given as a reason. They predict, how
ever, that this condition of affairs will
not last longer than the end of Septem-
